Movie night!

I was thoroughly prepared for this movie to be a dumpster fire but was pleasantly surprised and entertained! Just disregard the historical inaccuracies, the great liberty they take with the characters, and the fictionalized plots. It was funny!

Emma Thompson was hilarious. Hugh Grant played the fragile genius Chopin but was likable despite a terrible wig (and possibly terrible accent but I can overlook that). Judy Davis was captivating as George Sand. Bernadette Peters is the scheming Marie d'Agoult (they really did her wrong in this movie because the real Marie was herself an accomplished novelist and historian, writing under the pen name of Daniel Stern). Julian Sands, who was supposed to be Franz Liszt, was giving me George Emerson with longer hair and a piano (I realized he really has a very unique and distinctive way of delivering his lines).

Can you believe that Julian Sands was initially cast as Maurice but backed out because of scheduling conflicts? Thank god!
